Today is Bhogi. The first day of Sankranti Festival. Generally it is 13th January. It is celebrated in honor of Lord Indra, "the God of Clouds and Rains". Lord Indra is worshiped for the abundance of harvest, thereby bringing plenty and prosperity to the land. Since it’s a winter season main food for Bhogi is curry of mixed vegetable (available in this season), bajra roti with sesame on it and rice & mung dal khichadi. So that you can keep yourselves warm in winter.
